Revising Journalism Education in India and the Roots of the Honduran Diaspora

Richard Schaefer will describe his recent Fulbright experience revising graduate journalism curricula for the Mass Communication Research Centre of Jamia Millia Islamia University, a Moslem-targeted convergent journalism program in New Delhi, India.  Schaefer, a founder of the Cross-Border Issues Group, will also briefly draw upon his research and journalism exchange program experiences to uncover the roots of the recent Honduran Diaspora, in which tens of thousands of young Hondurans have attempted to migrate to the United States.  Finally, he will show stories from a current research project designed to evaluate the effectiveness of video journalism techniques for presenting data trends.
